Albany State softball team headed to Valdosta

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The Albany State softball team gets to play close to home in the South Regional of the DII playoffs.

The Lady Rams will make the short trip to Valdosta State to play the Gulf South Conference champion Lady Blazers on Friday night.

Valdosta State and Albany State played four times in the regular season and the Lady Blazers won every game in convincing fashion. ASU head coach Robert Skinner knows that beating the nationally ranked Lady Blazers won't be an easy task.

"Our work is cut out for us we know we have to go out there and play almost perfect so my mindset is if we do that we win if we don't then we won't win so therfore we've got to go out there real positive about what we're capable of doing" said Skinner.

Albany State and Valdosta State play at 6:30 on Friday night in Valdosta.
